Beautiful women, ugly dresses. This is the Fashion Hall of Shame
Feb 17, 2011 10:21 IST
-
Angelina Jolie, Versace, 2000 – No one told Angie, who came as Morticia Addams, that it wasn't a costume party
-
Beyonce, House of Dereon, 2009 – Beyonce and her mum co-design for House of Dereon, which is the only reason why the singer would choose to wear a dress this ugly in public
-
Cameron Diaz, Emmanuel Ungaro Couture, 2002 – Our girl Cam made a big red carpet boo-boo – she forgot to put her dress on and came to the show in her dressing gown
-
Celine Dion, Christian Dior, 1999 – How hard is it find a dress for the Oscars? Very hard indeed for Celine Dion who wore a tuxedo – backwards -, sunglasses and a fedora.
-
Charlize Theron, John Galliano for Dior, 2010 – Charlize, who rarely makes a fashion misstep, got it so, so wrong with these oddly placed flower shaped details
-
Cher, Bob Mackie, 1988 – Cher + Bob Mackie = Fashion Hell. Thank God the Eighties are over
-
Diane Keaton, 2004 – Diane took the whole Annie Hall genderbending thing way too far with her extreme menswear overload
-
Faith Hill, Versace, 2002 – Versace has a lot of red carpet blips to answer for, not least of all Faith Hill's ice cream sundae/mermaid style dress
-
Geena Davis, 1992 – The Thelma and Louise actress forgot the front of her dress but that didn't stop her from going on stage to collect her Best Actress award
-
Goldie Hawn, 2009 – Older, but no wiser on the red carpet, Goldie needs to find a dress that fits on top
-
Gwyneth Paltrow, Alexander McQueen, 2002 – No, that's not a picture from the ‘80s. Yes, it is Alexander McQueen. Perhaps Gwyneth meant to come in character as Margot Tenenbaum but we say – keep the lingerie-less look and eyeliner overload for the movies
-
Jennifer Connelly, Balenciaga, 2002 – Being nominated for Best Actress means that one shouldn't wear a tattered dress and raggedy scarf to the Oscars, especially if there's a good chance of winning
-
Kate Hudson, Chloe, 2001 – Kate's worn a lot of really nice dresses on the red carpet – but this isn't one of them. Don't even get us started on the hair
-
Kim Basinger, 1990 – Kim wore her own Disney-Princess-Gone Bad design to the Oscars and wisely stuck to dresses made by other people in the years after
-
Liv Tyler, Givenchy, 2004 – The Lord of the Rings star could probably have gotten away with the unflattering black sheath if she'd left the neckpiece at home and looked in the mirror while combing her hair
-
Nicole Kidman, 1991 – In the bad old days before Nicole found her fashion groove she favoured velvet minis and big hair on the red carpet
-
Sarah Jessica Parker, Chanel, 2010 – SJP turns up sans Carrie Bradshaw fashion savvy in an unflattering cut, a colour that washes her out and strange floral details
-
Tilda Swinton, Lanvin, 2008 – Who knew Lanvin and Worst Dress would ever be mentioned in the same breath but Tilda Swinton pulls it off with a dress that looks like it's made of garbage bags
-
Tyra Banks, Vera Wang, 2000 – All Tyra Banks ever wanted as a little girl was to grow up and wear a purple prom dress to the Oscars
-
Uma Thurman, Christian Lacroix, 2004 – Points to Uma for hunting out possibly the only thing remaining from the sets of The Sound Of Music. Or actually, not.
-
Whoopi Goldberg, 1993 – It's a wonder that Whoopi Goldberg was invited back to host after wearing this purple and green coat-jumpsuit combo her first year at the microphone
